Common Core and You {Part 4}

Here's just a quick post showing you the posters I've made the past couple of months that align with the Common Core. I hang these in my classroom and my students use them all the time to refer to!

Have you noticed your kiddos struggling with this concept?

I made the posters and a little word work game to go along with the three sounds of "ed".

Punctuation is such a tough one. Kids are using periods on every other word, question marks where there should be exclamation points and sometimes there's...well....no punctuation at all.

I made these posters that I have in my classroom all year. At the beginning of the year, when I'm teaching about expression, I use the worksheets so that we can practice reading with expression in response to punctuation {just like the common core says I have to}.

These FREE posters are aligned with the 1st grade Common Core, but can be used in K-3.

Wow! You are an amazing lady! I so appreciate your hard work, creativity and generosity. Thank you. I am a first/second grade teacher in California and even though we haven't adopted common core yet, I will definitely be able to use these cute posters and worksheets. Thanks again! Julie

I love that you made a recording a sheet and activity to go along with your -ed posters. Just a poster isn't usually enough for my kinders as a reminder because they forget what they pictures mean. This will help it stick. Thank you! :)

Thanks! The new common core are off the hook! We had our district mapping last week...sounds like they are going to be tricky, but after 10 years of teaching the old standards, I'm looking forward to a change.

Can I just tell you how much I love you???!!!!! YES! My kiddos ARE struggling with this, some of it is because the majority of my class are Ell's and they just need to hear and use the language more. I am downloading NOW and THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ☏JohannaFirst Grade Fanatic!

These are awesome! Thanks for sharing! When I first introduced the concept of the three sounds, we made a flip book, but this would be great to post with it and keep it up the rest of the year!! Loving the punctuation marks also! So cute! Thanks again! ~Heidi V.

Love these Rachelle. Thank you so much for posting them. Our first grade team printed them and will use them in our classrooms. We were wondering if you would want to make some similar posters for 'ar', 'er, 'ir', ur and 'or' ? Thanks! We follow your blog and use many of your great ideas.

Hi there! This is my first drive by of your blog... LOVE IT! :0) Your suffix ed set is PRECIOUS and I know my kids will love it too! Thank you so much for sharing! I am fairly new to teacher blogging and TPT but I would love to have you stop by sometime!~ Kristine www.oursmartcommunity.blogspot.com

A fun activity I do with the sounds of ed is to let them make paper airplanes. I ask them to fold them, sail them across the room, and the planes crash. Then we discuss how they were "folded" (/ed/), "sailed" (/d/), and then they "crashed" (/t/). Just a fun activity that they're sure to love! :)
